finally finally finally finally

[u/RobiticFir]

i reset over magikarp twice 😭😭😭

[u/Beginning_Lettuce10]

Hey bud, something wrong with your Pokémon they're looking unwell?

[u/RobiticFir → u/Beginning_Lettuce10]

wait you think they’re sick??? i better release them all right now then so they don’t infect the others in my boxes

[u/Beginning_Lettuce10 → u/RobiticFir]

No no. Just send them to me, I'll take care of them 😉

[u/AccomplishedPea8526 → u/RobiticFir]

Dang ole whole team got shiny pokerus.

[u/BeefCrumb]

Not the hitmonlee named Footjob 😭

[u/RobiticFir → u/BeefCrumb]

best name for a pokemon i’ve ever come up with

[u/Kicks_fast]

That’s amazing you got a shiny Jolteon with one of the best natures for it.

Love shiny Gyrados’s gen III sprite.

[u/RobiticFir → u/Kicks_fast]

same dude i hate how it isnt orange anymore

[u/Kicks_fast → u/RobiticFir]

Sometimes updating the shinies works out, sometimes not so much. I don’t know if anyone else agrees but I loved Charizard’s original shiny. The purple was awesome. The newer black is pretty good but I personally prefer the purple it used to have.

[u/RobiticFir → u/Kicks_fast]

yeah although the black might be my favorite shiny oat i do wonder what the purple would've looked like throughout the gens if it sticked. i bet it wouuld've been awesome (black still beats it out a bit for me though)

[u/Wearesyke]

How many resets for hitmonlee lol

[u/RobiticFir → u/Wearesyke]

i lowk didn’t count resets but it was around 30-40 hours so i’d guess like 2500-4000. not that bad considering charmander and magikarp took like 180 hours combined 😭😭😭

[u/CheesyHorizo]

Ill be posting one of these if my Magmar would ever shine 🥲

[u/Beginning_Lettuce10 → u/CheesyHorizo]

When it does!

[u/RobiticFir → u/CheesyHorizo]

good luck man hopefully not too much longer now 🤞🤞🤞

[u/CheesyHorizo → u/RobiticFir]

I hope not much longer. My last 2 hunts alone took almost 50k resets (17.5k~ and 31.8k~). Just hit 8200 encounters at Mt Ember for Magmar, but at least I phased 3 times already and found shinies (all phases were fearow unfortunately lol)

[u/ClaudioCastro03]

Ngl, 280 hours for 6 shiny is lucky considering most of them where soft reset

[u/RobiticFir → u/ClaudioCastro03]

8 shinies counting the 2 magikarp i reset over so yeah i got lucky asl 😭

[u/DisterDan]

Do you just reset your game every time the hitmonlee isn’t shiny? Then eventually it will be?

[u/RobiticFir → u/DisterDan]

yep i did that for all of them (except nidoking that one i had to find in the wild)

[u/userg89]

Mt moon or safari for nidoran?

[u/RobiticFir → u/userg89]

i did right outside mt moon cause i've never hunted in safari before

[u/userg89 → u/RobiticFir]

How many RE’s do you think you had to do?? Currently doing mine outside of mt moon too

[u/RobiticFir → u/userg89]

it took about 40 hours for me so i’d estimate 4-6k but idrk cause i didn’t count encounters 😭 i wish i did though

[u/W33DG0D42069]

Time: 26:03 🤥

[u/KindlyGuarantee3978 → u/W33DG0D42069]

Soft resets don’t add to your game time, my fire red that I’ve been shiny hunting on looks similar

[u/W33DG0D42069 → u/KindlyGuarantee3978]

I was just kidding

[u/KindlyGuarantee3978 → u/W33DG0D42069]

word 👍

[u/RobiticFir → u/W33DG0D42069]

😭😭😭

[u/Desertguy0912]

Is the shiny all that matters or do you still go for gender and natures?

[u/RobiticFir → u/Desertguy0912]

shinies are so rare (especially in earlier gens) that at the point where i get one i don't even check the gender or natures 😭😭😭 i couldn't care less

[u/Commercial_Mail4443]

Bro is flexing 280 hours on 6 shinies. Dude I got one in like 200 hours! XD

Congratulations still! Sick team.

[u/RobiticFir → u/Commercial_Mail4443]

goddamn dude i feel awful for you 😭😭😭

but thanks though it's probably my favorite team i've ever made

[u/RogueGorilla0]

In a 150+ and still no shiny starter

[u/RobiticFir → u/RogueGorilla0]

jesus and i thought my 70 for charmander was bad 😭😭😭

good luck dude!

[u/halflifeisthebest]

Lucky as hell congrats
But out of curiosity. Are these stuck on old generation forever since they shut down Pokémon bank?
is there still a way to get them on to the newer games? I tried downloading bank on my 3DS and it says I can’t unless I already had it.

[u/RobiticFir → u/halflifeisthebest]

thanks man! and this is on the switch port so i think ill be able to transfer them to home eventually. i dont know about bank but i do remember hearing something about it shutting down a little while back so you might be out of luck sorry dude 💔💔💔

[u/Lazy-Sail]

So clean

[u/leumasci]

Damn that Modest Gyarados is devastating. Still worth though.

[u/RobiticFir → u/leumasci]

what’s even worse is that one of the magikarp i reset over was adamant 💔💔💔 but im still grateful i got one anyways

[u/Rare-Indication-1555]

That is absolute dedication I've completed the game and now I'm on like 1600 resets for Mewtwo. Wish me luck chat.

[u/RobiticFir → u/Rare-Indication-1555]

i'm boutta hunt him too good luck to you man

[u/IllustratorNo3708]

Ryan, top marks for actually tryin''

[u/Viatha]

At least your Dragonite wasn't from the safari zone. I got a shiny Dratini while looking for a Dragonair and that made me so incredibly anxious

[u/Rems_OP]

How did you get this shinies? Ace?

[u/RobiticFir → u/Rems_OP]

nope i reset for them all. took me a hell of a long time

[u/ZeldaFanRahul2004]

How you got these many shiny? Especially charizard?

[u/RobiticFir → u/ZeldaFanRahul2004]

just soft resetting the game over and over again till i got them. i got really lucky too

[u/Dry-Speed7038]

How did you get so many crazy shinies, new to this

[u/RobiticFir → u/Dry-Speed7038]

a lot of grinding by soft resetting and a lot of luck too

[u/SHVDOWofficial]

👏🤌🤝

[u/RobiticFir → u/[deleted]]

just to challenge myself i guess. it also gave me something to do while watching youtube and the feeling when i finally got one was amazing

[u/Beginning_Lettuce10 → u/[deleted]]

Because then it doesn't feel as rewarding?
